THE CITY OF NASHUA “The Cate City"

Office of Economie Development

TO: Jim Donchess, Mayor & Michael O’Brien, Chair

FROM: —= Tim Cummings, Economic Development Director

Date: May 24, 2022

RE: Approval of a Contract for Commissioning Services provided by
Fitzemeyer and Tocci relative to the new DPW Administrative Office
Building

The enclosed document is a not to exceed contract of $27, 550.00 to Fitzemeyer and Tocci. The
scope of work to be provide is for commission services.

Commissioning services is a process that checks and documents the design, installation and,
testing of a building's systems according to the requirements of the owner. It includes training of
the owner's appropriate staff in order to understand and operate the building systems efficiently
and correctly. This is a best practice to ensure specifically the mechanical systems are working
the way they were designed.

A Request for Proposals (“RFP”) was released and there were eight responses and two rose to
the top. Fitzemeyer and Tocci and Cannon were essentially the same price for services and
ultimately I am recommending that this contract be awarded to Fitzemeyer and Tocci based on
their familiarity with the city, price and knowledge in commissioning services specifically when
it comes to mechanical systems.

THANK YOU.

6.02 Progress Payments; Retainage

6.03

A. Progress Payments. The OWNER will once each month make a progress payment to the
CONTRACTOR on the basis of an estimate of the total amount of work done to the time of the estimate and
its value as prepared by the CONTRACTOR and approved by the ENGINEER. All such payments will be
measured by the schedule of values established in paragraph 2.07.A of the General Conditions (and in the
case of Unit Price Work based on the number of units completed) or, in the event there is no schedule of
values, as provided in the General Requirements.

B. Retainage. The OWNER will retain a portion of the progress payment, each month, in
accordance with the following procedures:

1.

Final Payment

The OWNER will establish an escrow account in the bank of the OWNER’s
choosing. The account will be established such that interest on the principal will be
paid to the CONTRACTOR. The principal will be the accumulated retainage paid
into the account by the OWNER. The principal will be held by the bank, available
only to the OWNER, until termination of the contract.

Until the work is 50% complete, as determined by the ENGINEER, retainage shall
be 10% of the monthly payments claimed. The computed amount of retainage will be
deposited in the escrow account established above.

. After the work is 50% complete, and provided the CONTRACTOR has satisfied the

ENGINEER in quality and timeliness of the work, and provided further that there is
no specific cause for withholding additional retainage no further amount will be
withheld. The escrow account will remain at the same balance throughout the
remainder of the project.

A. Upon final completion and acceptance of the Work in accordance with paragraph 14.07 of the
General Conditions, OWNER shall hold 2% retainage during the 1 (one) year warranty period and release it
only after the project has been accepted.
